3D printing is a kind of additive manufacturing where a given 3-dimensional CAD part or product is manufactured using a 3D-printer. In this process, a material is deposited layer by layer using a computer algorithm to create the 3D model.
FDM 3D Printers Fused Deposition Modeling - FDM 3D Printers use thermoplastics, suitable for cost-effective prototyping and applications to produce quality parts for any industry. FDM originally invented and patented by Stratasys founder Scott Crump in 1989. Fast forward to the present, FDM is now the most commonly used 3D printing process. FDM technology is the process of making physical objects by building up successive layers of material. A thermoplastic filament is pushed through an extruder and deposited where needed in each layer to complete the desired object. |
